Favorite items

You can flag your favorite items from the CARTRIDGE, TAPE/DISK and UTILITIES sub-menus. Favorite items are highlighted in red and have a check-mark beside them. It is possible to filter these items in the list. The Mega-Cart has the ability to automatically store your favorite item settings in its internal Non-Volatile RAM (for up to 100 years even without power). Because in some unforseen rare case a program could overwrite this information, we suggest that you occassionaly backup your favorite items to a disk by using the SAVE PREFS function in the Service Menu.

How to select favorite items:

From the CARTRIDGE, TAPE/DISK or UTILITIES sub-menus just press the CBM (Commodore) key to set/unset a favorite item. Doing so will displayed that item in red with a small lateral flag (check-mark) beside it. Red items are favorites, blue items are not.

How to filter favorite items:

Once you selected some favorite items you can easily filter these games/utilities using various methods. The simplest method is to press the F2 key when browsing the CARTRIDGE, TAPE/DISK or UTILITIES sub-menu. By pressing F2 you immediately show only your favorite items within the current sub-menu. Pressing F2 again will show ALL items within the sub-menu.

Please note that if you have previously filtered items by Publisher / Category or any other type of filter your favorite items will only be shown a sub-set of the previously conducted filter. That is to say, filters are cumulative.

Another way to filter favorite items is to access the Filter screen by pressing F3.
